Green Cars - Toyota iQ

The new Toyota iQ is a 4 seat car, but it really is just a 3 seater with the area behind the driver better suited for luggage or a small child in a car seat. The great thing about this car is that it gets 56 mpg. That's right! 56 mpg is much better than other small cars. The Smart Fourtwo is another small car and it only boasts 45 mpg.

The Toyota iQ is also a car that can brag about safety. In fact, the iQ has no less than 9 airbags in its small package. It has the world's first rear air bag which deploys from the roof lining behind the rear headrests to minimize passenger impact.


The car looks great and it will probably be a big seller here in the USA. There are rumors that it will be marketed through the Scion brand in the US.
